Renner joins a starry line-up for the murder mystery sequel, titled Wake Up Dead Man, alongside Glenn Close, Andrew Scott, Kerry Washington and Josh O'Connor, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Daniel Craig will return as Benoit Blanc, the detective with a distinctive southern US drawl and a knack for solving murders.
Last week, the films' Oscar-nominated director and writer Rian Johnson posted about the new film on Instagram: "We’re about to go into production on it and I AM SLIGHTLY EXCITED."
Renner has been recovering since being left in a critical condition when he was accidentally run over by his own snowplough on New Year's Day 2023.
